Succession Radar can be connected to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other assistants as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) connector. Once it is connected, you can ask questions about the cohorts you have already built — in your own words, in the tool you already use — and the answers come from our database, not from the assistant's imagination.
It returns company-level data only. No named individuals, no dates of birth. Ages are given as the bands the server has already computed, and the assistant is instructed to quote them, never to work them out.
There is nothing for you to install and no plugin to keep updated. If your assistant can connect to a remote MCP server and sign in with OAuth, it can connect to this one.
The connector exposes three tools. Each does one thing, returns what the dashboard would show you, and no more.
Searches your own cohorts. Filter by sector, region, age bracket or keywords.
Returns: a short list of companies with their company-level signal fields.
Capped at 25 rows per call and 500 rows per day.
Fetches one company by its company number. Only companies already in the dataset — it never calls Companies House on your behalf.
Returns: one company record, company-level fields only.
One row of the daily allowance per call, whether or not the company is found. No live register lookups.
Describes a cohort as a whole: how many companies it holds and how they fall across the age bands.
Returns: counts and age bands. No individual rows.
Counts only. Does not spend the daily row allowance.
The assistant picks the tool; you just ask. These are real questions against a real cohort, and the shape of what comes back.
How many companies in my manufacturing cohort have nobody younger on the register?
The cohort's size, how many carry each signal type, the split by confidence, and the eldest controller's age band across five-year brackets. No company is named, and it costs nothing against your daily allowance.
Show me the five oldest-owner companies in Greater Manchester, with what their accounts say.
Up to twenty-five rows, oldest first: signal and confidence, net assets and the movement behind them, live charges and when each falls due, where the company sits against its sector, and the score with the detail behind every factor.
Take company 01430856 — why did it score the way it did?
One company, and the working. Each scoring factor carries its own explanation, so the assistant repeats the reasoning rather than inventing one. Coverage is reported too, so a thin record reads as thin.
Of those five, which are growing without taking on new debt?
A follow-up needs no new call. The rows already carry a growth trend and whether new security was registered over the same period, so the assistant answers from what it has.
What it will not do. It will not tell you who runs a company, because no name reaches it. It will not build a cohort — it reads the ones you have. It will not look a company up on Companies House; if a company is not already in your data, the answer is that it is not there. And it will not do arithmetic on your behalf: every figure is computed here and quoted, which is the point.
Four steps, none of them technical. If you can paste a web address into a settings box, you can do this — there is nothing to install, no key to copy and nothing to keep updated.
Free, and the same account you use for the dashboard. The connector answers about the cohorts that account has built, so build one or two first if you have not already.
The connector is included with the annual plan, or available on its own as standalone MCP access. See the pricing below.
Each client calls this something slightly different — "custom connector", "MCP server", "integrations" — but every one asks for the same thing: a URL.
The connector address will be published here after the domain move. Nothing to paste yet.
The first time the client connects, it opens a browser window and asks you to sign in to Succession Radar. That is the only credential involved: no API key to copy and nothing to store in a config file.
Two ways to have it. There is no monthly-dashboard add-on: if you are on monthly access and want the connector, the annual plan is the route. Both buttons need an account; signed out, they take you to sign-up first.
Ages are approximate on every route in. Companies House publishes only the month and year of birth, so the register cannot give an exact age and neither can we. The server computes the age bands and figures; the assistant is instructed to quote them as given, never to derive or refine them.
Company-level records from the cohorts you have built: company number, name, postcode and incorporation date; the signal type and its confidence; the ageing-equity percentage; the eldest and youngest age bands and counts of active controllers; the score with its coverage figure and the detail behind each factor; filed financials where the company filed them, charge classifications and renewal anniversaries; where the company sits against sector and region benchmarks; and the timestamps saying when each part was fetched. Everything comes from the same database the dashboard reads, with the same suppression list applied.
The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets an AI assistant call tools on a remote server — in this case, ours. You add the connector address to your client, sign in once, and the assistant can then run the three tools above when a question needs them. It is an open standard, originally created by Anthropic, supported by clients from several vendors; it is not specific to any one assistant.
Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and any client that supports remote MCP servers with OAuth sign-in. We do not maintain plugins for individual products — the connector is one address that all of them can use. If a client supports MCP but only over a local process, or only with an API key, it will not connect.
If you are on the annual plan, the connector is already included. Sign in on the home page (or open the dashboard) and then return here — the pricing panel will show the connector as included — and follow steps three and four above. If you are on monthly access, upgrade to annual from the pricing section; there is no monthly add-on.
From the billing portal in the app — open the dashboard and use the Billing button. Standalone MCP access is rolling monthly and stops at the end of the period you have paid for. The annual licence runs to the end of its twelve months.
Anything about a person. The connector does not return named individuals, dates of birth, officer or PSC names, or anything the dashboard's suppression list withholds. It does not run letters, exports or cohort builds, and it does not query Companies House live — a company that is not already in the dataset is not there.
